Sometimes, I like to steal a look at the advanced Jazz stuff, even though I don't know what is going on through 85% of the video. It discourages beginners sometimes when they look at advanced jazz techniques, but not me. I picture myself in about about 5 years being half as good as Dave! I don't care if i'm only 19; i'll never give up on piano. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Dave!

Dave, I am playing professionally, right now I am in Hong Kong and I must say that when I play every evening I look for video's online on how to continue adding ideas to my repertoire so I do not go insane. Your video's are great and hilarious. Nothing is as memorable as a great tune, and forgettable as the guy who wrote it... hahah!

"This is called contrapuntal playing, and I don't know how it's done" Haha I want to be friends with this man

I have searched and searched or good info on LH jazz piano. This video is priceless and replaces about 30 jazz piano books

I love Dave's sense of humor and teaching style. It resonates with me.

man that was so good. breaking down all of those stylistic approaches really gets you thinking.

I rarely see a great player and a great teacher rolled in one. Thank you very much, not just for today, but for all the years of work that led to this

honestly one of the best video lesson i've ever seen.

Thank you so much for this lesson and your time in creating it. Amazing teacher/player

I just watched the first 2 stylistic elements, and Dave, you're totally killing it, incredible course, and so much to learn... man. Thanks Dave!

Unbelievably awesome video! Thanks Dave! Mr. Frank!

Thank you Dave, for sharing. You are a great man. Truly.

Thanks for all the different comping textures!

Amazing stuff Dave!! We can't thank you enough for posting these videos!

Your right hand work is mind-boggling, and the way you integrate the elements between the two hands is absolute poetry. Thanks so much for posting these online for us ley people to study.

Really great. I have been thinking for a long time (and hearing) that there are these different "ways" of using the hands. But this is the first time in any forum that I've seen someone make an inventory of examples like this. Thanks! And more please!

Wonderful video, awesome player! Thanks for posting

Pure genius! Thank you for making this video. Immensely helpful and clearly presented. I have seen nothing better on KZfaq.

Well-deserved props at 23:30 to the great Russian-German classical pianist Sviatoslav-Richter.

good work Dave! love all the master classes... and thanks for making them free! God Bless You !!

Really beautiful improvisation. Amazing thanks for putting this up.

Dave, I'm elated that your still active on these posts. I just found your videos for the first time a couple days ago and i think this particular video has released my from the confines of all the rules that i've been seeing everywhere else. the flow is great once it starts appearing in my playing. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

Fantastic - especially @ 24.38: The Contrapuntal stuff!! Thank You.

Fantastic Dave. People will get so much from this. Jazz has never got the appreciation it deserves as one of the greatest genres of music (many argue it is the greatest) and is often misunderstood. But you're breaking it down and once people get into it, they will stay with it for life. Improvisers never retire!

Absolutely loved this...what a wonderful piano player Dave is !

Great stuff there Dave! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for the master class, Mr. Frank!

I'm not a pianist (actually a cellist), but I love listening to piano jazz--this video was really entertaining! It helped me gain a greater appreciation for what you talented pianists can do--watching all the little components that mix together to make such a versatile sound! Thank you for sharing this, Dave!

It's lovely that the left hand blow was explained in a concise way, the fact that playing with the left hand via the fingers and wrists exist in classical playing, we usually keep the fingers in contact in fast passages and use rotation when needed. Jazz piano physically seems more muscular ... :)

Thank you so much for this class Dave, I will be studying this thoroughly. Thank you!

Ohhh i love this all so much the improv is just amazing!

Dave - you make it very easy to learn the different very difficult Technics in Jazz. I will definitely buy your CD\DVD lessons!

Playing with so much passion.

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent and musical knowledge.

I've enjoyed several of the 'Artist' masterclasses, and sort of plan to enjoy them more...someday... but this one I find IMMEDIATELY very useful, helpful, inspirational, friendly, and wonderful. I always LOVE hearing multiple-style-variants on one tune like this !!!! Going deep into all the choices for that one tune....Thanks so much !!!!

very good!! learned a lot from his classes!

Wow Dave, this is some of the best tutorial on KZfaq. Thanks!

Wearing the well deserved hat of the master musician! A treasure trove of generosity. Thanks Dave.

Dave, you're gonna become a Jazz Legend.

Hello Dave, I've been fooling around at the piano for many years, and haven't had a prolonged session with a teacher, and maybe part of my stagnation is due to laziness, or lack of confidence, but watching your wonderful video will make me sit up a little straighter, and maybe even practice more. Thank you so much.

Fantastic, thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for creating this video - its extremely helpful! Cant thank enough, amazing!

Concept of imagining strength coming from legs and feet while playing the piano! That's brilliant! I guess that's how one gets grounded to mother Earth and gets strength! Thank u very Frank! I really appreciate knowledge you share!

Love hearing you play. I try playing along when i can. Love the yamaha sound, nice n tight!

Thank you so much. I got a lot of inspiration form this video, I'm actually starting enjoying myself while improv

I'm sorry to tell you that there is a master class archive at www.davefrankjazz.com that has 27 of these types of videos for your free enjoyment) Blessings and keep swingin from NYC!

awesome!! loved it! i learned a lot!!

Really enjoyed this thanks for posting!

You are a musical, pedagogical power house. Thank you for such masterful, thoughtful classes!!!

LOVE THIS - I've just found your videos, and i've been checking this one out all morning. Great improvs, licks, and ideas! And stylistic elements of course.

This is awesome!! Thanks a lot!

Just simply WOW! Thank you so much Mr. Dave Frank for your video(s); how I came across this I dont know, but what a GREAT GREAT GREAT production. Thank you again and I will take you up on the getting with you for questions, again thanks for sharing!

Dave... you blow me away every time.

This is pure gold! Thank you so much for sharing :)

best piano instruction vids on youtube

I'm enjoying your class. Thank you Mr. Frank.

I'm nowhere *near* the stuff you're teaching in the advanced classes but they're too inspiring not to watch. I watched the walking bass clinic the other day and had a quantum leap that same night - like sometimes all it takes is a teacher pointing out just the right couple of things at the right time. Thanks for putting these up! Marco Germany

great video!!! thank you for sharing

thanks for this great lesson!

Thanks again as always!! I heard a lot of Red Garland in the double arpeggio bit, specifically the Bye Bye Blackbird intro he does on Miles' Round About Midnight. Time to hit the shed!!

This is fantastic Dave! You present the concepts with great clarity and your playing is amazing. There is a lot2learn here and you can be sure I will be studying this video carefully. ;-) Great post!

Just brilliant!

!Thanks Dave for a great video

Brilliant concepts!!!!!.....thank you sir....

Lesson really interesting. Thank you for your generosity. Good swing ...

Bravo! This is very useful - thank you!

Thank you Dave.

You are awesome Dave, thank you so very much.

Thanks, Dave. I've found something new to practice on.

Thanks so much for sharing! Merci beaucoup pour le partage!

Thanks for sharing!!!

This is really really great. Learnt so much and actually learnt a lot just from visually analysing your improvs. Very useful camera angle. Thanks so much for this. All the best, Ben, London UK.

You look like you and the piano are making just one person, the piano seems like a part of your body. Thankyou to share your great knowledge. Paul from France

Man.... Dave! - - I'm just amazed, Il stop there!

That was an outrageous music lesson. I hung and bared with you the whole way. Subscribed. Also subscribed to your website.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge...

Killin' it!

Great vids Dave! So much musical info that translates to other instruments - in my case the bass.

The name of this song is pretty pertinent. Could easily applied to your good self. I'm enjoying your videos tremendously. I'm glad you managed this one without Jack's presence.

You had me after the first second i knew this would be genius!

I've been trying contrapuntal playing with two voices on the right, and for the moment one in the left, listen to New Orleans Bands' counterpoint helps get ideas. As well as Bach too obviously will help with that.

Wow, the counterpoint is really impressive!

man, this was great. thank you! you seem like a very nice person and you play some beautiful lines!

One the last section of the video where you play out it reminds me alot of Dave McKenna;s style. Very enjoyable and instructional. Thanks for the time and the help.

Cool!!!! Thanks for your fantastic teaching video.

thank you for every knowledge.

Thanks Maestro! great video, thumbs up! greets from the Netherlands.

You are the greatest. Thanks for your generosity. There will never be another Dave Frank. (There's going to be a hell of a lot of better players, thanks to you)

Good question, tx) Piano is difficult in that every key is a different planet. The ability to improvise in any given key is mostly a matter of familiarity with that key. I don't improvise as well in keys I usually don't play in, that would require focusing on improvising on that key for awhile, which could be done..but as I play solo, there's no rush)

gorgeous!!!!

Great class -- enormous amount of information. Some of them I already do (Garner LH, faux stride, improv in the crax). Others -- arpeggiating in 10ths (seems like you're using block chords too) and contrapuntal...will take YEARS, if ever. Very inspirational. Thanks!
